Got a behind due to nearly two months of illness or bad weather, but today was the day!
A few years ago a neighbor was of the opinion that he could break into my shed and steal my tiller (this was before we moved to our present location) so I didn't garden much after that. This year I determined to get SOMETHING into the ground (still without a tiller). After a nice breakfast, I grabbed my shovel, rake, wheelbarrow and seeds (ok, and some bagged garden soil, too) and got busy.

| Nearly half-way finished turning the soil |
Three hours and four pounds of shed water weight later, the garden is secure! Got my workout in, let me tell ya!
 |
| Finished turning. Now to hand-till, make rows and plant. |
 |
| Just gimme a shovel and rake and some seeds |
Mini-Garden 2017 is "secure"! One row of zucchini, one row of cucumbers, one row of watermelon and a row of bell peppers. Whew!
Oh, and we found a bird's nest above the front door. Had to get out the big ladder so I could climb up to see it was occupied. Since it was newly built, I am hesitant to remove it. Will keep eyes on it, thought.
